Lost Hits (1996): Canadian Edition

A little tradition here at Happy Monday is to resurrect syrupy lost hits on Canada Day.  This time we are concentrating on the mid-90's when it seemed any band could get a video played on MuchMusic. 

First up we have The Gravelberrys featuring Paul Myers, brother of Mike (notice the resemblance) who had a minor hit with Wonder Where You Are Tonight.  A fine little pop song.




Next up is Pluto with a driving slice of indie pop.  The song Paste only reached #46 on the charts in 1996, although I remember the video being in heavy rotation.




And finally, here is Salmonblaster from London, Ont.  The song Freeway is quintessential Canadian indie pop of the era.  I always thought this song would have more success stateside.
